DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is ROBLOX Halal?

Gaming platform — user-generated content concerns.

What You Should Know

Roblox is gaming platform with user-generated content. Concerns about unmoderated content and predatory elements. Its March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $9,827 million of assets, $1,008 million of long-term debt, $1,188 million of cash, $4,977 million of short- and long-term investments, $538 million of receivables and $1,442 million of revenue. Debt/assets is 10.26%, liquidity/assets is 62.74%, receivables-plus-cash/assets is 17.56%, and disclosed interest income is 3.81% of revenue; liquidity screens fail while user-generated content and virtual-currency activity remain qualitative questions.

⚠️ Concerns

  • User-generated adult content
  • Child safety concerns
  • Liquidity/assets exceeds the examined limits
  • Virtual-currency and gambling-like experiences

Business-activity disclosure

Roblox operates a user-generated gaming and social platform. The platform service is not itself a conventional lender, but gambling-like experiences, violence, sexualized content, advertising and child-safety risks require qualitative review.

Limitation: The filing does not provide a universal prohibited-activity numerator across user-created experiences, advertising and virtual-currency activity.

Purification

Roblox discloses $55 million of interest income, but does not provide a complete prohibited-activity numerator; no definitive purification percentage is invented.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Roblox's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Interest-bearing debt is $1,008 million of long-term debt. Cash is $1,188 million; short- and long-term investments total $4,977 million.
  • Accounts receivable are $538 million. Revenue is $1,442 million for the quarter; disclosed interest income is $55 million.
  • The platform's user-generated games, virtual currency, advertising and content are not reduced to a universal prohibited-activity numerator.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
